I’m at breaking point..

Any advice will be appreciated pleaseee.
My son has always woke up throughout the night (I know this is normal for newborns and even now at nearly 15 months) BUT.. usually when he wakes up I can re settle him. I put him in our bed and he’ll go back to sleep, although after 11pm he’ll never sleep back in his cot. But the past month he’s been waking up inconsolable for a good hour, arching his back and just in tears. I’ve tried so many different things, I’ve even gone to the GP who didn’t know what else to suggest and has referred us to a paediatrician but it’s a 3 month wait.
Has anyone else had this please?
I did originally think maybe night terrors but im unsure. No teeth are coming through either so im just besides myself.
He’s also not too happy in the day, he isn’t the happiest baby (which makes me feel like a bad mum and like I’ve done something wrong, but I think it’s just his personality).

But please can someone recommend something or tell me they’ve had this happen too and it does get better because I’m at breaking point.
Every night I just pray tonight will be the night he’ll sleep through or even for more than just 3 hour stretches but it never is

Elective C Section and Breastfeeding

Hi girls

My c section is booked next week and I'm excited and terrified in equal measures!!

Please can you give me your top tips for helping your milk supply along. Ive tried pumping colostrum at 37 and 38 weeks and just getting little trickles, nothing worth collecting. I've heard breastfeeding feeding is harder after an elective section.

Any advice would be amazing! Xx

Still multiple wakes each night

Hoping I’m not alone in my tiredness! My 15 (nearly 16 month) year old still wake around 3 to 4 times each night. It has become almost the same time now each night at 11pm, 1am, 3am and then varies from 6am - 7am wake up. His normal routine is first nap around 11am for 2 hours then bed at 7/7:30pm. We do rock to sleep after feeding milk. When we woke in the night we have weaning off giving him milk but now he just wakes for cuddles and rocking each time. Anyone experiencing the same? I really don’t want to do sleep training but not sure what I need to change! X

Breastfeeding with piercings?

I am 34 weeks along and my midwife told me if I want to breastfeed I should take my piercings out now, but when I had a home visit with a nurse she said I shouldnt have to take them out except when feeding or pumping. So I am just curious if there are any moms who have their nipples pierced who have been either breastfeeding or pumping and what's been your experience so far?
Editing to add: I don't mean I want to leave the piercings in while I'm breastfeeding or pumping. I mean taking them out while doing so but putting them back in after.

Where do you put baby to sleep during day?

Where do you put baby to sleep during the day? In your living room or in another room? Do you darken the room during the day while they sleep? Do they already have a sleeping routine during the day ? (8 weeks old)

Does your partner stay awake ridiculous hours on the weekend knowing he’s already tired?

My partner continues to complain about being tired but constantly goes to bed after 11 weekdays and usually after 1 am on weekends, which means he never wakes up for our kids on the weekend I’m always up with them even if that is after I’ve had a night out. Is this normal or
